The world is turning silver.
How people work, play and live is changing.
It is time to rethink ageing. We are ageing very differently from our parents and grandparents. People are working longer, staying healthier and are more educated, tech-savvy and affluent than ever before.
Technology provides an array of opportunities for our older lives – including longer and more flexible career paths. We need organisations to cultivate age-inclusive organisations which attract, care and retain valued people.
How can we age better? Our futures are built on the advances we have made in medicine and technology to personalise our healthcare and extend our healthspan. We need to shine a light on the breakthrough technologies and innovations that will help us crack the knack of ageing!
The future is Silver – are you ready?
Silver Futures exists to unlock the potential of our older selves. We recognise that how we age is complex and to optimise the silver futures of all requires fundamental shifts in government policy, health systems and the mindset of most individuals. We believe the work we do at Silver Futures can nudge positive change around work and purpose and also the uptake of technology and innovation for us as we age.
Silver Futures advises, guides and convenes people and organisations to reimagine how we grow old. We bring together researchers, experts, innovators and curious minds to recreate how we can all live longer, healthier, contributing lives.
The Silver Futures’ Australian Agetech Map is a useful resource for anyone interested in knowing more about the innovations addressing the needs of older people being built in Australia’s backyard. More about the Agetech start-up and investment scene in Australia can be found here on the blog.
We are standing on the edge of a truly exciting frontier – no other generation in history has had the privilege of such potential for their silver futures!
Silver Futures is dedicated to showing how everyone can claim better futures for their future selves.

As I deep-dive (professionally and personally!) into ageing, I have become fascinated with the concept of cognitive reserve, which is the theory for how some of our brains can better buffer the impact of ageing and preserve our cognitive abilities. You can work on...
Tech to proactively support your Brain Health
How is your brain? Is it healthy? Do you think about how best to look after it? So many of us only see brain health through the prism of disease or injury rather than how best to optimise our brain’s performance. During my deep dive into Ageing, I have become a fan of...
Australia’s Neurotech Future
As I delve deeper into better ways of ageing, I find myself increasingly focused on the brain. Initially, I believed brain health was something to prioritise as we age. However, the more I research, the more I realise how crucial it is to start much earlier. Our...
Living longer requires a whole new way of working, living and being. We need to redesign, reinvent and recreate to unlock the opportunities of our Silver Futures.
